Silver Travel Advisor Partner - Avis

In 1946 Warren Avis opened the world’s first airport car rental location at Willow Run Airport, Detroit, with a grand total of three cars. Today, Avis operates from over 5,000 locations in 165 countries worldwide.

Avis is a trusted and award-winning brand with a long history of innovation in the car rental industry, and is one of the world’s top brands for customer loyalty, with a commitment to true convenience and exceptional service.

Drive with Confidence

Their Drive with Confidence focus means that you can undertake your journey with minimal points of contact, while your car will have been cleaned with special attention to all the surfaces most likely to have been touched, backed up by Avis’ Safety Pledge.

Avis Inclusive – Simple, transparent pricing and cover

Avis is also committed to making car-hire simple and inclusive, removing the stress of being confronted with complicated products and confusing pricing. Instead, you can look forward to one upfront cost for the car and cover, saving up to 25% on zero excess cover and getting free premium roadside assistance with damage charges removed. So there’s no need for you to discuss cover at the counter at all – it’s all taken care of already. Should you lose the keys, get a flat battery, find a chip in the windscreen, or the car is stolen, you are covered.

Fully flexible car hire

Avis understands that in challenging times, you need flexibility with your arrangements. That’s why with Avis, you can amend or cancel your booking for free should your plans change, and get a full refund.

Avis Preferred – free loyalty programme benefits

Avis’ free loyalty programme offers you access to the perks of their priority service straight away. Plus, when you book direct with Avis, their price promise means you won’t find a cheaper Avis car anywhere else. Benefits of membership include: a €15 voucher for your next trip after one rental, priority service – and with pre-prepared paperwork, you can jump the queue and in some locations your keys and paperwork will be waiting for you in the car – plus a voucher for a free weekend after three rentals. And if you have rented with Avis in the last six months, you can retroactively add rentals to your loyalty account to secure your rewards even quicker.

Avis Preferred Plus – better still

If you make 5 or more rentals in a year (or spend €1,000 a year) you’ll automatically qualify for Avis Preferred Plus, unlocking additional benefits including priority availability and service, a single upgrade (depending on availability), and a free additional driver. It’s a great way to enjoy the best of the road ahead. As a special Silver Travel Advisor benefit, you’ll have a year’s free membership of Avis Preferred Plus – you can enrol here (please sign in at the top right of this page to see the Special Offer box at the foot of this page with the passcode you will need, and note that once you are registered for Avis Preferred, your Avis Preferred Plus status will show in your account in 2/3 days).

Cars of choice

Avis believes it’s not simply getting from A to B that matters. What makes a journey memorable are the experiences you have along the way. From superminis and hot hatches to humongous people carriers and vans, the Avis fleet covers quite the range of vehicles primed for every possible journey you’re planning.

Avis is constantly updating its fleet to offer you the latest models: on average our vehicles stay with them for a little over six months, so you can be sure you will always be behind the wheel of a quality model.
